High Production Full Automatic Capsule Encapsulation Machine

High Production Full Automatic Capsule Encapsulation Machine

Product Description of Capsule Filler

Our capsule-filling machine is used to encapsulate product (powder, and pellets) in gelatin capsules. Empty capsules are loaded into the capsule hopper where they are fed into the magazine. Capsules initially enter the magazine un-oriented. From the magazine, the capsules enter the sorting block where they are properly oriented (smaller end on the bottom). The capsules are then separated by vacuum. The lower portion of the capsule is filled. The upper portion of the capsule is inspected to ensure the capsule is separated. (If the capsule is not separated or is faulty, a pin will dislodge the capsule and the vacuum will remove it from the system.) The two halves are then joined together. The finished capsule is discharged to a chute and the station is cleaned with an air blast.

The capsule filler can use all makes of capsules (00#～5# and safety capsule A～E). Non-separated or improperly inserted capsules will be automatically rejected. Capsule target fill weight can be adjusted by changing dosing disks. At the end of a run, only a small quantity of product will be remaining in the hopper.

Working Principle of Capsule Filling Machine

The working principle of the automatic capsule filling machine is divided into two parts, which are the movement of the capsule and the filling of the medicine:
 

1. Movement of the capsule
During the filling process of the intermittent capsule filling machine, the movement of the capsule depends on the indexing box for intermittent and discontinuous rotation. The filling volume of the capsule is mainly determined by the volume of the metering

disc hole. The hollow capsule is in the capsule hopper, the main board moves up and down, the capsule enters the capsule guide groove by its own gravity, and then the horizontal fork and the vertical plug make the capsule cap upward and the

capsule body downward into the upper and lower modules. The capsule body and capsule cap are separated under the action of the device, and then the module enters the powder filling station.
 

2. Drug filling
The sensor in the powder holding ring controls the screw feeding rod above it, and the medicine is continuously added to make the height of the powder in the powder holding ring constant. position, push the drug column into the capsule body. After that, it

enters into the capsule rejection, capsule locking, finished capsule discharge, module cleaning station in turn, and then enters a new round of station cycle, and the cycle begins again and again.
